New American Restaurants near Monterey Park, CA

“Excellent service. Great beer. Great food. I Love the ambiance.“

“I have only ordered here via uber eats and can only speak on 2 items I have ordered 3 seperate times.

The spam & egg rice also the bulgogi fries.
The two items are always fresh, and deiciously made.

I suspect the butter with the spam/egg/rice really elevated the simple dish with a splash or dried seaweed.

The bulgogi fries are cheesy and really delicious as well with mushrooms, green pepers, and onions on seasoned fries.“

“I recently visited Luminaries and had an exceptional experience thanks to Lee's outstanding service! The food was impeccable, But what truly made our evening shine was Lee's attentive and friendly care.

Five stars aren't enough ,I'd highly recommend Luminaries and Lee to anyone seeking top-notch dining and exceptional service!☺️?“

“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“I've been going to Yard House in Mission Valley for years and this is our first time at this location. They had a fairly busy turn out due to the fact that most diners were there waiting for the taping of America's Got Talent. We ordered 2 things and our food came quickly. The staff is polite, bathrooms are clean and food was good. You can park in the garage and they validate your parking.“

“great place for an evening date with the wifey... 😎👍“

“Let’s go Dalton!! Amazing service all night long — anyone else would have been sick&tired of our slowness and indecisiveness, and he was SOOOOOO kind and personable. Couldn’t have asked for a better server!

Food SEEMED great— smelled great in the space. My friend loved his burger. The caesar “side” with kale, brussel sprouts, and pistachios was delicious. The szechuan noodles were. Well it was the beef that was the problem. I wasn’t expecting them to be stringing in that way and was very glad to have ordered the spiced up hoisin sauce on the side.

Thanks again Dalton for the wonderful service!“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“Excellent food and service- highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“Excellent food, great service and environment. Feels homey with gourmet cuisine. Consistently great, we come here about once a month. Drinks are excellent too. Thank you.“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“Love this place. We had Thanksgiving dinner here, with a special menu, so weren't able to sample the regular selection as much. But if crab cakes are part of the regular menu: they are amazing. Service was also top notch. Will gladly come again if we find ourselves in the area in the future.“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Thank you.

Such a great team, I love visiting and staying at the hotel.

Dining at Longitude 118 is the best part of my day.

Elena and Stefano you are the best
See you next visit.“

“Harbor House in downtown LA is a charming, retro-style diner known for its 24/7 service. The extensive menu offers classic American comfort food, from hearty breakfasts to late-night burgers. The atmosphere is laid-back, with a nostalgic vibe. Service is generally friendly, though it can be slow during peak hours. Great for casual dining or a quick bite.“

“I had never been there before and enjoyed everything. The service was awesome. I will return.

Parking: Parking was a little tricky, but even if you park down the street a bit, the area is safe and lovely to walk through.“

“Comfortable and easy to get to, The Mixx has great folks taking care of you - the best bartender in all of SoCal, Carlos, who will mix you any concoction (the drinks menu is quite extensive and Carlos does not disappoint). Owner Ed is always around to make sure you have a great time, too. Food is quite good (sweet potato fries is a personal favorite). And there is always some entertainment going on: comedy wednesdays (free!), tuesday salsa, live music on weekends. It’s a great place to hang and watch the game (we were there for Super Bowl) or just cill and enjoy music and the vibes.“

“As always, great food and great ambience. Every staff member is so pleasant, warm, and professional. Always happy here with everything. Iryna at the front desk is superb and so welcoming and Andy is a great server. I've had him more than once. Definitely looking forward to more visits here.“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“Had a great time friendly place“

“Haven't been here for a couple of years, as the last time we didn't enjoy the company of rats. They didn't even offer to buy in. This last time we went to a different area and the brunch was great. Truly like the croissant style cinnamon rolls and breve. We also had both types of benedicts and they were great.“

“It was me and my girlfriend’s first time, and the wonderful cashier did not shy away from answering in full detail what her favorite taco was! Needless to say, we knew all the options and left very happy. Fire food and fire drinks. 11/10 would come back.“

“Working so hard to stay open during these pandemic times. We owe them and their faithful help a lot!“

“Really fabulous experience. We were visiting and stumbled upon this place by accident because the smell caught our nose. Service was great, and the chef was excellent and kind. He does a rotating menu based on the seasons so ingredients are seasonal and very fresh. The dishes were refreshing, flavorful, interesting and not too heavy. We ordered the waldorf salad, grilled sourdough (so good), tuna crudo, aguachile, and risotto (amazing). Wanted to try the griddle cake but they were out. Also you must get the strawberry shortcake for dessert if its in season, we ate it so quick and savored every bite. Thank you to the team at Holy Saints, we’ll be back!“

“Absolutely some of the best service I’ve had at any restaurant in the last couple years… The friendliness of the maître, a server who asks our names, and then uses them later, and the manager that stopped by… Food and cocktails were also very good. Make sure you get validated, otherwise parking is astronomically expensive

Parking: It’s a large parking garage, make sure you get validation. Next time I go, I would just valet at the Sheraton, which you can get a reduced price via validation.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“My family and I are not the biggest fan of pizza. However we decided to order some pizza, but from a place we've never tried. Pizza Cafe LA came up on google as one of the closest places with quite good reviews, so I decided to try and ordered to pick up. (My orders were ready on time!)

I ordered two large pizzas with chicken wings.
Pizzas were very nice. All of us enjoyed every slice of it.
AND chicken wings! Honey BBQ and buffalo flavors. They were so crispy and the best of all, I LOVED the ranch? they gave to us. I don't think I ever enjoyed the dipping sauce that much in my life.

We will definitely come back in near future!“

“Incredible food made fresh everyday. They put in 200% effort here and you can really tell. One of the best restaurants in LA right now.

Sometimes they do run out of food and have to close early, but it’s worth it to go back and try again because it is so good.“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had in LA. You can tell the chef loves what he does. The food tasted clean and fresh, and every dish was either wholly unique or an original take on simple dishes (a skin on roast chicken that isn’t greasy? Pork belly that’s crispy, yet melt in your mouth delicious? My partner hates pork belly and even he was impressed!) Our party of 4 ordered quite a bit of food and I found the portions to be perfect. I ordered the burger for dinner, and as a “best of list” skeptic, I can confirm they absolutely earned that spot, it was incredible.

The desserts sounded “LA fancy” (pretty to look at, sounds impressive, but mid in execution) and I was expecting heavy, especially with the ingredients listed, but they were the *exact opposite* - meticulously made, not overly sweet, and *light and delicate*. We got the panna cotta, the walnut tart, and the fried pie, and each one was a smash hit. The walnut tart was insane.

They accommodated my sister’s gluten allergy, and we never felt rushed or unwelcome. A new favorite for sure.

if you can’t decide what to order, get the burger!!“
